You ready? Good evening. Welcome to Arab Sukus Zerimshin. This is a testimony to all of you who came to the shar on Arab Yamiff in 24 hours and you're here for a shir. That is amazing. Tonight's shir is forklish. My parents and my mother should be should be a forester Karen Civia Mayor Ben Miriam loser Ben Mita Daniel Abraham Benzeria David Ben Yehudis. Okay. Parishes Emar Paige Kuy mayor. Thank you for making these handouts. [gasps] Letter Yud Pares Mr. talks about the dashulf theim this is 100% zerosim this is his drious his remosim in the aramim the background to this zerosimshin is that says the [clears throat] starts the year off with us on our new calculation on sukus rashes and yam kipper was times and chuva is times of chuva times of kaiso was busy with what they had done in the last year and previous years and then the next four days we're busy with all the mitzvah. Credit we get for sure. Credit we get but the time that starts taking into the things that unfortunat for the of where you're holding. So the wants to learn the the lul the and the as what the attitude that we should have going forward for this coming year each one of the be like the be like the lulv you're taking it if you're taking it you're supposed to learn something and connect to it that's correct so be like the lulv be like the like the hadum and like the roas Let's see what this says. I want to be make this is not this isn't this is a remis creates the says about the it doesn't call it an it calls it p8 means nice beautiful on this day that we begin a new calculation. A person should try that all of the things that he does to do it in the best way possible. You know, in Yiddish, I always have to teach a Yiddish nish. >> You know what that means? >> You're about to find out it's true. No halfbaked jobs means to say when you do it not 100%. you you like init what's that >> wishywashy we say you do it so [snorts] pre the pates I'm going to add the mitzvah of a person are known like his pism The p8 which means your mitzvah should be says the you should do it do mitzv have the attitude that's one of the remosm of buying a nicer es because now it's the first mitzvah you're doing in the you know it's represents the first and I'm doing the mitzvah and adding extra going a little bit overboard and spending a little more this way that a person shouldn't veer the wrong It has to look without missing anything. It has to be to be as beautiful as it can. The represents the call. So number one, a person says what should he learn from the that the pre the fruits of your labor, the fruits of your action, do it. and best. You know what that means in Yiddish? >> And the best the nicest way. It's about the actual [snorts] >> it's doing the mitzvah in a nice way. That's right. That's right. >> So I'm saying you can buy an for and >> question. >> What's that? >> Didn't answer his question. >> What's the What's the question? >> We were talking that you know there are people spending $800 on an essay. >> That's right. So the question is is it >> you get more of a mix between $800 and $200 asking >> Avando >> why if you're looking at the itself and it's beautiful for 200 and to you it's a beautiful what's >> a a question you're talking about the same srig and you're paying more money for it or you talking about two different what are you talking about >> I don't know we don't know what the same >> I'm asking your qual to 200 >> somebody could see that it's different or else it's not worth $800. >> The prices go. So you come in and it's a nice one. >> $300. >> You know what? It says money. It doesn't say $200. the 200 is beautiful. If the 200 is beautiful, it has then if there's if it's apples to the same just in Spain more for the same unless you want to use it like sometimes some yeed and do as an opportunity to give suda to the person who's selling the so this way you go to certain people who I know really need the money, right? And therefore, I will not haggle with him on the price because this is my opportunity. That's like the matan that you're doing in your mitzvah. So, I'm getting my aster used to say sometimes which means you have to let someone else make money too. It's a Indian. Don't nickel and dime the guy. I once upon a time when I was younger, I used to wait till the last day or let me go get a great price on the when they have to drop the prices. That attitude changed. Now the he needs the money. So you're being two things. You're being you're getting a nice and you make another ye feel good and it's a kosher way of doing it isn't. So then in that sense spending the $800 is worth it because you did multiple mitzvah with your SR even before you even got your even before you used it for the >> what's that [clears throat] >> andra like and Beny saying good not for the whole thing 600 bucks if you would have spent you could write off your micer money on $600 cuz you would have used $200 and spent it and now you're spending 800 bucks because you're giving him seduka So, and it's m and it's even better than that because the fellow's working hard and you make him feel good on so many levels. Are you doing a mitzvah? Just like they're asking if there's a little hole, it's plea. If there's a little bit of a like leaf, a fleck [snorts] if his unfortunately is something which he really shouldn't be thinking about and he needs to do chuva for it. He is the can sometimes get a bad clap and become ple can knock the pitum off and then you can't use it anymore and sometimes you can have an asterk it has a little bit of a fleck no that's already still kosher kaparim The next one lulv has taste but it doesn't smell. What does that mean? who does a sin over there. He should do while he's still young and strong. [snorts] When a person gets older and then life is already winding down and now he has kar he couldn't have done the away it it is chuva and it counts but it's not as a chuva person does when he has like the ra says with the same and he does the Spine represents the strength of a person and the lul is the highest one which extends up above and beyond the capacity of a human being the sogri is the pristine that's the sadic the lulv is the balu it's the one that made a mistake but it can always come back They're all bent into if you made mistakes, balance it out. And how does aul look? You've got leaves on one side, you have leaves on the other side. in and you have and you have but they all to one. If you do the right cha then both sides of the lulv even the wrong side will become the right side the the and it'll only have one heart to the in the safer that I wrote. Yeah. I'm advertising it. And they said I got a message from rabbi from one of the rabbis in LA who told me he started going through the safer. He's loving it. It brings down I brought down over here >> to the camera. >> Okay, >> there you go. No shame. Makam the word lulv. This is page 92. The Shimshian's writing that represents it's actually a gimra inus non says that if a person sees in his dream it's a positive message from the aishar assuring him that his heart is properly devoted to hashem. It's a message from Hashem that his heart is in the right place. The word lulv can be divided into two words. Lul is low le to him is your heart. That's footnote number eight. Live to him is your heart. But it's even more than that. In footnote number nine, I quote a rashi. Raji says in suka that if your lulv stays on the tree too long, it becomes hard and the branches break away. Meaning that the lulv is no longer able to be tied together because you know in some place you know the comes from the tree from the same lulaf tree from the same from the same to you know what the difference is it stays on when the tree when the branches grow out they grow from the middle they come from the lathe of the tree if you cut them then you have a lulv if you don't and they stay on the tree, then they branch out and the all of the leaves start branching out. They become hard and they no longer can be connected. And that's called that's that's when it's too hard. It's um the len you can't be you can't tie it up anymore. They're it's called um per it's separate. So Raji says is only kosher. The type of lul that's kosher is the type of l that when you tie it together the leaves will stay attached. And he uses the Oviv represents the spine that it's attached in such a way that it won't separate. That's the message of the lulaf. If the lul's leaves get too hard that you can't attach them, they're not laying on the spine anymore. So they're not connected to their o of to their source. So they do they no longer represent what the lulv is supposed to represent which is loyalty. So therefore we call the branches of the lulv leaves of loyalty because it shows the loyalty. Where do you see that loyalty? Even if a person did an aero but he changes his ways and he comes back. So then he's considered obviously he's at the end of the day loyal to the says therefore we're making a why even though the is more because the the has both a good smell and there's a taste. So there are many reasons. No, I don't say why the terret is says the >> is edible. >> The so that means it's more because it's >> No, it is moreash. But if you would make a on it, you'll have to eat it. No, you but you but you don't you but you you make the not if you make that be if you're making a taking it you're says it says you take the four species why mention the lul if the aster has got more mileus the terret says says the next there's a so therefore on the one hand the esrig is placed first in the because it's the sadic it represents no pam so therefore it's the pure one it's there first creates beautiful but the lulv for all of us who are people who make mistakes. But with chuva, we have a choice. We have a chance to be higher. So therefore we can take the bad and make it good to show the loyalty to the so therefore that's the one that gets the obviously the rather have it that you don't make any sins. So the rig represents the sadic the esrig is kosher. It [clears throat] can't have a kind of a blemish the way our mimm should be. But the lulv is there so that we have even when we do make a mistake we have the balua of the four minim. Okay. [snorts] The we hold in the left hand as we said the is in the heart the we have on the one hand the rig which is on the left which is connected where your heart is. So therefore your heart is connected. That's the right side. Okay. Now is the what are the criteria for? Number one is that the leaves have to cover over the wood. When you look at your hadasim, the bottom, the top of the leaf has to be touching or over the bottom of the next one. So that if you would put them like sometimes they spread apart, but if you touch the leave against the hadas wood, you'll you'll cover it over. So this way you won't be able to see the eights. >> They overlap. >> Overlap. If they're too far down, that's not good anymore. That's not good. That's one part. Number two, there have to be three that are coming out on the same level. Mishim, not that one is far. Far means it's moved down, right? It's dislocated, so to speak. Have to be together. That's called the the idea of the attitude that a person should have is he should be doing more mitzvah than his like it says in the theim the leaves are like the get And it says to come out on one row. Who should be in threes? You have to divide your learning. Also, you have to teach your children and your grandchildren. When we deter three generations, three generations of people that are devoted to learning, then you have then you know that the Tyra is in a good place. It's protected and it will come back. So that's the attitude of the hadassim. That's what the that's what we learned from the hadass. Let's go to the arov that on your page over here is bout. Did he say that over here? Thank you. We'll get there. It's page 98 in the book. Okay, we're getting there. This is what it looks like in your handout. Are like the lips just like if a person's leaves get shriveled up. What makes the arava puzzle when it gets dried up? Right. shrivels. That's called right. Yes. Believer. You have to learn with your lips. She found the and he was learning quietly. And she says, "What are you learning quietly for?" Go ahead and learn with a Bren. Go ahead. That's right. It's it's for those who speak it out. A person should learn Torah in a way that you can hear his learning. Now that's what the Zerosim says over here. I want to like we mentioned the Zerosim mentioned that the Arabim have each of them something special unique. The esrig has tam verak. [snorts] Tam is toyra is mitzvah. The esrig has tora and mitzvah. That represents a person who is like the sadic. Then you've got certain ones that have but no tam. The what smells good theim but there's no fruits on there that you eat. They're just hadim. That means there's mitzvah notra. Then you have the lulv which has the dates on it. So there is taste but there's no smell. There's no good smell. So each of those three have one quality. And then you have the arovam. Those are the amaratum and clalis. They are also farbinden with the lulv. They're also forbidden. As a matter of fact, if you spend $800 or $1,000 or $2,000 on your esrig and your lul is a dairy esrig, that's $500 and your hadim are 50 bucks a hadas. But you don't have a you don't have anything. You weren't mim your mitzvah. The surah of Clius is everybody is not just stam together. It's fbind writes. I have it over here. I think it's on page 98 writes that we find the foundation of connection to Clausal. You are the kind says it doesn't matter a ye born is connected to class. We're all connected. The cash of the hadasim and the aravis and the lulv and the esrig, the sadikim, the baluas. All of clasol is only kosher if they can be connected with the aris. A rova says is gimatria zera. Zerah 277 is he saw to it that no matter what you're so the in a certain way represent the most important part like they said the Alish or the Russia that sits by the But he also has to be there. If your lul and your thousand doesn't have together with it, you didn't do your mitzvah. So that says is the foundation of our relationship. That's the of them. You don't have anything to take the minim and understand the remes of the like he says in each one of the minimum your lips your eyes your heart and your spine those are the four different that's also in over here that all the parts why the lips and the eyes the spine I understand that's the tour of the the head right or the heart that's I got that But why the lips and the eyes you asked? So over here in the safer I I wrote that the eyes and the lips are the two that the use to create the world. They're the two of that a person has. So when we talk about that the four species are like you have his spine you have his heart and you have the two of a person that was given to him to be able to be able to create and make himself and to have a positive world. So those are what they represent and that's what we should take with us the best way we could using our as you swallow.
